Okay so a cheesy kind of stupid title, but here's an article to Monopoly's Atlantic City, what's changed. There's even a video!
I skimmed the article.
I watched the video!!!

Sounds to me like the Real Alantic city is getting awful run down!
I loved to walk the boardwalk!
When me and hubby went there in 84 the town before getting to the casinos looked sort of run down and one night we spent the night in a motel just about a block away from the main part didnt cost much either,
and at 6 am they closed down the casinos to clean them and we walked the boardwalk til they opened back up I think about 10 am.
I thought that was funny to do that for here in Vegas they are always cleaning as people play.
I would say keep the game like it is as its fun to play but cleanup the town dont know what to do with the homeless as they are every where and they usually stay in the run down part of a town.
Have you played it on pogo?
very differnt than the original board game differnt names and all

I have not played the game on pogo.com, though I think I've seen someone play the game for a few minutes. That's odd to have shut down the casinos for a few hours wherein Vegas they never shut them down just constantly clean around them. Oh well I guess they felt that was the best way to go around them. It's sad Atlantic City is getting as run down as it is, I know on t.v. they depict it so shiningly!

I know what you mean Monopoly has changed over the years and it is not the same as it was when we were kids,and I remember playing Monopoly and it was fun but it was also kind of difficult,and now the have the electronic Monopoly which seems like a lot of fun and a whole lot easier,since you do not have to worry about having a banker or have to worry about keeping up with the money,which is always the worst part and I always hated having to be the banker,I love you with all of my heart and soul.

I guess no one liked being the banker and yeah a fried of ours would like to be the banker so he could deal with money since he likes money and he is a penny pincher and does not like spending money,I love you with all of my heart and soul.
